Artist Jay Shells channeled his love of hip hop music and his uncanny sign-making skills towards a brand new project: “Rap Quotes.” For this ongoing project, Shells created official-looking street signs quoting famous rap lyrics that shout out specific street corners and locations.

Resend the promises of your teachers to your videogame manufacturers. Gather amongst your preachers and recoup your families’ tithings. Forgive your corporations, and their politicians, for they are the wayshowers of a prolonged hell….

I want to unwrap your layers.. No, not the layers of your clothes, but the layers of your being.
Give me your trust.
Let me unveil the stories behind your beautiful scars, help me decipher your mental.
Give me your heart.
Allow me to caress your soul with my thoughts, and massage your conscious with my intentions. I promise I will handle your being with care.
Give me your love.

Beautiful.

nude.

ijustsaywordssometimes:

i laid there, bare

spread across the bed

like classic art

just as nervous as the first time

hoping you don’t see

all things i never wanted to show you

but its hard to hide

when the lights are so bright

and i just want

to be what you want

so badly

so badly

so badly

i can hardly breathe

from the weight of it.

The Oglala Lakota people of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota live near the site of the massacre of over 250 Lakota Sioux, at Wounded Knee Creek (1890). They recount a long history of violated treaties and broken promises on the part of successive US governments. In 1980, after the longest-running court case in US history, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Black Hills territory, land sacred to the Sioux, had been seized illegally after gold was discovered there in 1874. The court awarded a compensation payment of US$ 106 million, but the Sioux refused the money and demanded return of the lands. Today, Pine ridge is one of the poorest parts of the US, with unemployment in places reaching 90 percent, and a male life expectancy of 48. Pine Ridge is seeing an upsurge in resistance movements, and a revival of traditional spiritual ways. The sun dance has returned, after nearly disappearing, and people are teaching language, horse skills, and ceremonies to the youth.
